I am formally requesting a new DLT value to support capture traffic from my companies LAN/WAN router/protocol converter device.
Since this device supports WAN protocols, this new DLT will be used to provide/indicate that the data stream contains a number of WAN port specific pieces of information such as: - message direction - hardware signal line states (RTS, CTS, DCD, etc.) - transmit/receive error/status bits. - a protocol type indicator (Frame Relay, LAPB, IPARS, UTS, etc.) This 5 byte header/control-structure will be prefixed to each captured data packet, but will not be considered as part of the 'data packet' that will be decoded as part of Wireshark, etc. - This is the tcpdump-workers list.
